Salmon Preservation Workshop with Drifters Fish
UPDATE: The Slow Food Seattle Board of Directors has decided to postpone the Salmon Preservation Workshop this Sunday due to the impact of the COVID-19 corona virus. The Health Department has a set of criteria for community events, and because of the nature of this class -- 1) working with food, 2) standing in close proximity and 3) sharing surfaces [knives, cutting boards, tweezers], it is their recommendation that we postpone. Although we are truly disappointed to delay, we feel we should do our part to mitigate the potential risks while people are working so hard to contain it.
— Kim Marshall, SFS Executive Director
Slow Food Seattle is thrilled to partner with Nelly and Michael Hand of Drifters Fish and Seattle Cucina for another exceptional culinary experience. Join us for this unique, hands-on workshop to learn about two salmon preservation techniques: gravlax and pickled salmon.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Nelly will guide us through preparation techniques, like skinning and pin boning, and impart helpful tips for working with frozen salmon. She will share her family’s gravlax recipe, a Scandinavian-style lox made with a sugar/salt blend. Salmon for the class will be Copper River coho from Nelly and Michael’s last run in Alaska on board their 31-foot gillnetter boat, the “Pelican.”
Drifters Fish is a community supported Fishery (CSF) and the Hands proudly work in Alaska’s responsible fisheries program where sustainability is key in protecting the health of the wild, surrounding ecosystem.
LOCATION: SEATTLE CUCINA
